Four more years for WA's worst pedophile

A former teacher who is already considered Western Australia's worst sex offender has been sentenced to four more years in prison after admitting to the horrific abuse of two girls beginning 35 years ago.

Mark Pendleton, 53, is currently serving more than six years behind bars for his part in a jailhouse plot with fellow pedophiles to start a doll-making business in Thailand as a front for a sex ring.

That conspiracy began during a 16-year sentence for sex offences against children.

The new jail term means Pendleton has now been sentenced to a total of 27 years for sex offences - believed to be the longest total jail term for a pedophile in WA history.

In Perth District Court, two more victims of Pendleton described how their lives had been ruined by his crimes, which involved repeated rapes beginning when one of the victims was aged just seven.

The pair were included in a spreadsheet discovered by police, on which Pendleton had detailed many of his abuses, included detailed notes of dates and what he had done to the girls.

Prosecutor Justin Whalley described how Pendleton had befriended the younger girl's mother in 1977, and abused her when he was supposed to be babysitting.
